if you ever seen a perfectly clean rubber, it feels sticky.
let a bit of dirt sit on it, then it will feel normal.
as for water flushing.....hmmmm can't say.
water and oil don't mix.
anti-freeze and oil do.....hence why flushing it with anti-freeze will work for you.
water may get most of it out.
degreasers are great for what they do, but they can eat rubber upon contact....so best practice is to flush them right away.
Belt is the only iffy.....i heard too many horror stories about belt shredding and enter engine through the crank shaft seal behind the main pulley.
but our belts are supposed to be life time.
rule of thumb, when all is done and dry.....if it ain't broken.....dont fix it.
